Look who just decided to show up in our backyard, this afternoon!!!!
A very handsome, mature & inquisitive #BaldEagle. He was perched up in a tree, near our old, rusting swing set. Stayed there for about 10 minutes before taking off. He was pretty close! This is from my Samsung Galaxy 10 camera phone.
This red-breasted sapsucker was not camera shy and it was also at eye level, which allowed me to get great shots. While it was being somewhat ''cooperative'', I didn't overstay because it needed to eat in peace and get the calories it needs to survive.
Never give up!
Belted kingfisher is the kind of bird that will leave its perch as soon as you try to photograph it. This lucky shot was taken this week. Never give up.
Roseate Spoonbill In Flight On A Beautiful Day by Debra Martz
The title says it all. What a gorgeous day to be out bird watching in south Texas in the early part of last March. I was at Lamar Point to see if any Whooping Cranes were still in the area. Several did fly over a little later so it was a perfect day of birding.
